[HLUG] Problem with editing the foomatic-gui package

[Graham Cole]

Benji, thanks for that quick reply but in my system I have no gtkhtml2.
Instead there are two installed versions, gtkhtml3.2 and 3.6 and some
uninstalled versions are listed as available. If I wanted to I could
download an older version called simply gtkhtml but via modem I found it
was going to take hours to get that earlier version so I gave up. Ubuntu
seem to have ignored gtkhtml2, maybe because it is compatible with RPM
rather than Synaptic which Ubuntu uses? Or maybe they were thinking it
was good to be as up-to-date as possible.
